I think it clearly explains that the is a marginal PSI increase up to 14.7psi. .25psi .30psi whatever. Now that example of a 17hp increase was was an example for 200hp engine. On a 1000hp engine it would be around 85 hp increase from a .25psi gain. Obviously it doesn't take the cooler air into consideration because it'll be more yet. No BOOST yet. From what I read, you'll make BOOST after 230mph from ram air. 15.5psi, 15.7psi 16psi. In other words 1psi above atmospheric pressure increase per xxmph above 230. K? K.


When you can back up your claims, with actual TRACK TIMES, instead of just "theory", then report back. K?



Why did IE go from "The "myth" of ram air.. does it WORK in cars/trucks?" to "boost"?

Ram air works, even if it does nothing more than allow the engine to get cooler air. I suspect that was the intent of most air grabber type systems.
